Frequently asked questions

Does it work for code?
Yes. Line mode is designed for code and configuration files, while word and character modes help with prose.
Can I ignore whitespace?
Yes. Enable Ignore whitespace in line mode to skip trailing spaces and indentation-only changes.
What do the colors mean?
Green marks added text, red marks removed text, and the neutral color marks unchanged content.
Is there a size limit?
Only your browser memory. Very large documents may be slower because the comparison runs on the main thread.
Are my texts uploaded?
No. The comparison happens locally, and nothing is sent to a server.
